<h3>Notes</h3>

	<ul>
	<li>A stop list decreases the size of the full-text search index, which results in a smaller compiled help (.chm) file because fewer words are indexed. This is especially important if you have a large documentation set. All words in the stop list are omitted from the search. These are usually commonly occurring words or numbers, such as "the," "and," or "1" that a user is unlikely to search for.
	<li>You can create a full-text search stop list from the <a href="stop2.htm">sample list</a> that comes with HTML Help Workshop, and then include it in your project file.
	<li>For the 1.3 release of HTML Help, the size of this file is limited to 512 bytes.
	<li>Do not set the stop list as read-only, it will not function if this property is set.
	</li>
	</ul>
